Mood:  surprised
Topic: School
As you might recall, I took my Analysis midterm on Friday and was not too happy about it. We were getting them back today and I prepared myself for the worst: I brought tissues and comfort food with me. Here's what happened:

[Shapiro] *hands me the test sort of folded over* I think you'll be surprised.
[Me] *takes folded exam* I doubt it.
[Me] *opens it, reads score* Okay, I'm VERY surprised!

I got a 91! Ninety-fucking-one! I was so extremely exitced. I mean I thought I did better than the first test because I knew the definitions a bit better but I was expecting a 70 or so. Instead I got 21 points higher than expected. The four people who found out my actual score were pretty amazed as well. It did put me in a good mood despite the circumstances (and yes I feel guilty for my good mood).

At the very least, I now know the best study method for the class:
- Copy the theorems and definitions out of the book, separate them and focus on the ones don't already know or are supper dupper important.
-Look over workshop note sheets.
-Work on problems.
You'll notice that there is no mention of reviewing my notes. I didn't look at them at all for this time. Ironic, no?

Anyway...Yay! I stand of chance of passing 412 since I got an A- on the midterm!
